The way recommended by QEMU developers is to use KVM, purchasing new hardware that supports KVM if necessary, in which case you won't need to use much of QEMU. Good performance on other hardware requires the kernel module kqemu. The QEMU developers have deprecated kqemu and are removing it from the next version (.12 IIRC), but you can currently still use kqemu if you build QEMU with kqemu enabled. I have just switched from QEMU to VirtualBox (with RPMFusion enabled, `yum installVirtualBox-OSE`) and can recommend it, unless your VM needs access to your actual USB devices or needs to be controlled remotely, as those features are not open source. I was able to configure VirtualBox to use the same disk partition (which appears as a partitioned disk itself) as with QEMU, and network setup was much easier and didn't require any equivalent to the custom scripts I wrote for QEMU. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
